Index of Mage GuidesFollow

Due to the increasing number of guides on this forum, this post has been put together to serve as an index with links to each of the various guides available.

I will do my best to keep this index up-to-date, and ask that anyone who finds these guides useful to bump this thread to keep it on the first page. That way, we only need to keep one post bumped instead of bumping each guide individually and cluttering the first page of the forum.

If I have made any mistakes or if you know of some other good guides that can be added, please reply to this thread or PM me. Thank you very much :D

A mistake regarding the difficulty of obtaining Evoker's Helmet of Second Sight has been fixed in "Easy / Solo-able Gear for the New 70 Mage". Also made an important note regarding socket and gem color matching.

I don't use it, but it could be worthy of a sticky IMO for reference.

Request Made.

Now, in the words of Uncle Grandfather of Perfect Hair Forever fame:

Thanks Poldaran. I agree that this post in itself doesn't have enough "meat" to get it stickied, so please just incorporate it into the new FAQ you'll be writing.

Not to mention Mage FAQS is HORRIBLE out of date.

/bump

/bump geting to the bottem of the page =] good referance

I'm not sure exactly why, but I never liked twinks and twinking in general... so I've never looked into it. If someone puts together a good guide, I'll add it to this index :D

On a side note...

The "Easy / Solo-able Gear for the New 70 Mage" guide has been updated with a post about soloable PvP gear and also updated with two suggestions for your Finger slot.

/bump

... to get it back on first page of threads.

Thank you for all the friendly feedback :)

I'm all in favor of keeping this on the first page so the thread is easier to find among a clutter of threads, but it's also easier to find relevant info if the clutter of posts within the thread is kept to a minimum, so I recommend simply editing an existing post whenever it needs a bump. (If I'd already posted in it, that's what I'd be doing with this one.)

Hmm...sorry if it's looking like a ress or something, but I really think this thread must be sticky or at least stay always on the first page. This thread is so helpfull for the new guys here that I couldn't let it simply die.

See ya
